Katie & Gilbert ENGAGED!! :)

Okay, so there are going to be many exclamation points in this post, and emoticons :) :) Like, a lot more than usual ;) Because....my bestie is GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!! To the most wonderful man :) :) :) Seriously, the last time I was this crazy with excitement was for my own wedding ;)

Katie & Gilbert are currently living on different continents, and he'll be moving out here to marry(!!) her and live here at the end of the year :) :) Katie's precious friend Lisa had the loveliest idea - to throw them an engagement party and Skype Gil in :)

It was amazing to see how everyone pulled together to throw such a beautiful party :)

To all involved - go team!! :)

And to Katie & Gil - you guys were made for each other, to be a part of this journey with you both means more than any words I can say :)

Love you
xx

The party was held in Lisa's beautiful backyard & guests contributed to the feast :)

 I know I'm biased - but he is cute ;)

 Dear friend Robs made the lable-tjies :)

 SURPRISE!!!

 Katie & her wonderful Papa :)

 So much of love :)

Skype time!

 Oh isn't she just glowing?!

 Meeting some of the peeps :)

 We had a cut-out of Gil so that he was also there :) This cute little guy decided Uncle Gil needed some kisses ;)

 Speech time :)

 And some picture fun :)

Katie & Gil, you're going to have a lifetime & longer of overwhelming, life-changing, earth-shaking, love & adventure!! Feel so privileged to bear witness to your lives & love :) :)

Such a heart filled with happiness!!
